MENLO PARK, CA -- (September 28, 2012) — Typesafe today announced the release of Scala1, a new mobile application for conference attendees to track content related to the Typesafe Stack (Scala, Akka and the Play Framework) and interact with other Scala enthusiasts near them. Scala1 makes it easy for developers to find new Scala talks, learn more about who is speaking, and discuss the tracks in real time. The application will also allow developers to create their own conference profiles and engage with fellow enthusiasts at the show.

“As we have seen tremendous Scala, Play and Akka adoption within the last year and a half, it’s very important for us to keep our community engaged and active,” said Mark Brewer, Typesafe CEO. “With the release of Scala1 at JavaOne, we’re providing a highly interactive way for conference attendees to stay up-to-date on the sessions that we are hosting, as well as quickly locate other Scala, Play and Akka related tracks.”

The Scala1 app is available on iOS and Android devices, and was developed with our partners, Tindr.co and Magnetic Bear Studios. Key features include:

The Typesafe crew is thrilled to share that Scala Days SF was just fantastic. A big thanks to all who attended. We were wowed by our awesome keynoters, speakers and volunteer staff, and it was great to feel the excitement and energy at the beautiful Fort Mason.

After an inspiring Scala Days (the next one is in Amsterdam), it's great to be able to shine some light on technologies dedicated to improving the workday of Scala developers. We recently talked about eight hot technologies that perhaps you didn’t know were built in Scala, and in the spirit of that we’re happy to highlight Takipi, a company that's making life for commercial Scala apps better. Branching out from Java, Takipi now helps Scala developers understand when and why their code breaks in production. For more details, we asked Josh Dreyfuss, who recently joined the Takipi team, to take us through it all. -Oliver White, Typesafe, Inc.
